Angel McCoughtry, the 18th player in WNBA history to score 5000 points! Dark Angel is 31 years, 252 days old. She is the 4th youngest to score 5000. She tppk 257 games to score 5000, the 2nd fastest ever. She is the 1st player from the class of 2009 to score 5000!

She would be the fastest to 6000 if she got there in her next 34 games.

That’s only about 30 ppg to be the fastest to 6000 pts. Let’s do the dam thing.

You’ve really given yourself leeway on the nicknames. Aren’t they supposed to be ones they would actually go by and not derivative of their actual name? I think she herself has called herself Lori Ann. Never has she called herself Dark Angel, an obvious derivative of Angel.

_________________Nnekalonians 1:14 - Thou shalt not accept that which is not earned

Angel is a hard nose player who wants to win and she wants the ball. I like the way she plays the game.

I agree with the wants to win part. In the past there was no doubt she wanted the ball as well, sometimes more than might have been good for wanting to win. I was a little surprised yesterday that Angel didn't seem quite so possessive of the ball. May be just a first game aberration.

I know, but that's been Cappie Pondexter's since the 2007 finals. Maybe after Cappie retires.

Interesting that the number one pick and ROY is the 6th player from her class to score 1000. I know it's only due to her missing time because of injuries. Pilight, how many other draft classes had a #1 and ROY that failed to become the first player from her class to reach 1000?

100/game is doable, as she would only have to do it for 10 games. Go Jessica!

In characteristic Cheryl Reeve fashion, the Minnesota Lynx head coach and general manager described her milestone 200 wins as if she’d simply been parked near the arena while other people dominated basketball for much of the past decade.

Chelsea Gray recorded her 100th career steal (July 1) and 400th career assist (June 29).

By my count, her 400th career assist came in her 117th game, while her 100th steal came in her 118th game.

Pilight, do you have stats/data regarding players after recording assist #400 and steal #100 and where Chelsea ranks as compared to those players?

I don't track them at that granular of a level.

I'd guess the 100 steals in 118 games doesn't rank that highly, considering we've had players get 100 steals in a season.

At the time, the 2002 draft was considered quite deep.

But the only other player with more than 4242 point for her W career from that class (besides Bird) is Cash.
